THE NATIONAL PREVENTION AND HEALTH PROMOTION STRATEGY (NATIONAL PREVENTION STRATEGY)

On September 15, 2010 the Surgeon General convened the National Prevention and Health Promotion Council (the Council). They agreed on the framework for the National Prevention and Health Promotion Strategy (National Prevention Strategy) which includes the Vision, Goals, and Strategic Directions. The Council will use the framework to guide development of the National Prevention Strategy.

Even a stealth approach will need a champion at HHS. We also need support from the clinical side of the house to endorse community-based prevention as a means of making possible for patients to comply with physician recommendations. We've kept clinical folks at bay for a while now, de-emphasizing the utility of their support for community-based prevention.

Beatrice,

I noticed that too. I wonder if the $15 Billion will have to fly under the radar for political reasons.

IS COMMUINITY-BASED PREVENTION OUT OF MIND AT HHS
HHS's new site dedicated to all things health reform, healthcare.org, is up. It is a very user friendly site for anyone questions about ACA, quality, and even prevention. What is striking about the site is that it is dedicated exclusivly to actions on the part of individuals. The prevention tab/page (link below) does not mention community-based prevention matters such as air quality or a brief primer on what physical/design elements make communities healthier places to live, work, & play. Even links to HUD, DOT, EPA smart growth/healthy/safe community initiatives would take minimum effort. Given this oversight & the "one-time" reprioritization in funding, the message about the impact of broader-based prevention work is not getting through.
